Description
A poplar clock made for many years, this one stamped by the factory on the back, 1906. The 24" mahogany case is near perfect, considering it is over 100 years old, and I was sorely tempted as I usually am, to keep this clock. I know it is a cheap clock as clocks go, but it is time and strike, an 8 day movement, original railroad dial that is signed, "PRR / Freight Representative / Corner North and Duke Streets / York, Pa.". I would guess that PRR stands for Pennsylvania Railroad. There is a good portion of the paper label inside, brass pendulum bob, coil gong, and the 8 day brass movement. The clock is identical to No. 1162 in Ly-Seth Thomas, except it has different railroad advertising.
